CVE-2023-0229 (GCVE-0-2023-0229)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-01-25 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-01 15:07
VLAI
Summary
A flaw was found in github.com/openshift/apiserver-library-go, used in OpenShift 4.12 and 4.11, that contains an issue that can allow low-privileged users to set the seccomp profile for pods they control to "unconfined." By default, the seccomp profile used in the restricted-v2 Security Context Constraint (SCC) is "runtime/default," allowing users to disable seccomp for pods they can create and modify.
